The LiFE Awards offer a moment to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the remarkable contributions being made across Tasmania. They remind us that suicide prevention takes many forms, from work in community and clinical settings, to everyday conversations, breaking down stigma, and creating safe spaces for people to seek help.
Highlighting the compassion, courage, dedication, and innovative ideas that save lives and support people affected by suicide, these awards recognise those whose efforts continue to bring hope, inspire others, and make it easier for people to ask for help. While much has been achieved together, there is still important work ahead.
If you know someone who has made a positive impact, whether through advocacy, community initiatives, or personal courage, now is the time to recognise their contribution.
